Product Description

Nylon's ability to withstand high temperatures and its durability combine to give it above average abrasion resistance. Thus it is an excellent material for replacement parts in a manufacturing facility or distribution center. MakerBot Specialty Nylon is an engineering-grade material that is optimized for high abrasion resistance due to its excellent flexural, tensile, and impact strength, not to mention a heat resistance of up to 180°C. MakerBot Nylon is compatible with MakerBot's water soluble PVA for unrestricted geometric freedom and is ideal for demanding applications in the automotive and industrial products industries for both functional prototypes and end use parts.

FUNCTIONAL PROTOTYPES

Nylon is a popular material that can be mass produced for industrial applications. In anticipation of large-scale manufacturing, it can be beneficial to prototype using the same material in order to more closely mimic the final product in form, fit, and function, but also in testing.

Applications include:

Industrial products

Seat Belt buckles

Gaskets

Manifolds

END-USE PARTS

In a shop or on a factory floor, nylon parts are used for augmented or original tools, jigs & fixtures, and replacement parts such as gears. Nylon's ruggedness makes it an ideal material for these end use applications.

Applications include:

Gears

Pulleys

Nuts and Bolts

Assembly Fixtures
